SilverBackTrails Lamplighter 40

Immerse yourself in the mystical ambiance of Goathland Village Hall for SilverBack Trails' Lamplighter 40, an unforgettable night run from sunset to sunrise. This epic journey begins and ends at the historic village hall on June 19th-20th, inviting runners to traverse a trail that weaves through Triangulation Pillars, cairns, crosses, and other enchanting checkpoint locations under the starlit sky.
The route offers a blend of good tracks, open moorland, and forestry, providing a unique challenge for both seasoned nocturnal runners and newcomers alike. Participants will be equipped with GPS trackers to assist in navigation through this intricate course. Along the way, you'll encounter two refreshment stops offering water, fizzy drinks, snacks, and even hot pizza at one indoor checkpoint.
The event's start time is determined by sundown on June 19th, signaling runners to begin their journey as soon as the Lamplighter appears with a lantern. You have until dawn on June 20th to return to Goathland Village Hall, though those who complete the course within this timeframe are rewarded with an exclusive finishers medal.
Those pushing the boundaries of time will still receive recognition if they beat the flag that gradually rises at the village hall every 20 minutes. The first male and female finishers also earn a special memento to commemorate their achievement.
Participants can choose between solo or paired entry, priced at £95 for individuals and £180 for teams (running together throughout). Solo entrants will receive a tracker and gpx route map as part of the package, while team runners must adhere strictly to running together unless one member drops out due to unforeseen circumstances.
Post-event hot food options are available in the village hall, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Limited parking is provided at the marshals' station near Goathland Village Hall; however, ample spaces can be found within the village itself.
The Lamplighter 40 not only celebrates a centuries-old tradition of lighting paths through the night but also ensures every runner receives comprehensive support throughout their journey. For those interested in securing their spot or purchasing an event-specific technical T-shirt for £18 from SilverBack Trails' club shop on SummitCrazy.co.uk, early registration is recommended due to limited entrant numbers.
